Another dose of Bush and Cheney

Robert G. Schultze, Riggins

After listening to all the whining about the cost of Obamacare and the deficit, I think we all need another dose of Bush and Cheney. One more good dose of them should teach everybody a lesson. They were experts at trashing a budget surplus, passing tax cuts for the wealthy and starting unfinanced unprovoked wars against innocent unarmed people. They even targeted women and children when they tried to kill Saddam’s wife and daughters with their “Shock and Awe” missiles. After killing thousands of innocent people which they didn’t even count, Bush held a victory ceremony aboard the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln.

Since Bush didn’t finance any of this, we are still waiting for Reagan’s “Trickle Down Theory” to kick in. Our runaway deficit started with Bush and Cheney, because Clinton handed Bush a budget surplus which he immediately trashed and we all know the rest of the story.
